Oh, I noticed the term "any person", but I also noticed the word, "deprive". That doesn't mean "provide". It doesn't mean that "any person" has the "right" to these in the US, it just states that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property. Enforcing the law whether immigration, criminal or civil is not depriving "any person" of anything other than what they have obtained outside the parameters of the law.
